  'Unfinished Business': The Land Question and the Scottish Parliament
 
 
Title: 'Unfinished Business': The Land Question and the Scottish Parliament
Author: Cameron, E.
Appeared in: Contemporary British history
Paging: Volume 15 (2001) nr. 1 pages 83-114
Year: 2001-03-01
Contents: This article notices the recent revival of debate on the Scottish land question in post-devolution Scottish politics. The aim is to place the ideas which have arisen in recent times in their historical context, and to contrast the contemporary approach to land reform with earlier approaches. The first section of the essay examines the importance of the land and the land question to Scottish History and culture prior to an examination of the history of the Scottish land question in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The final section analyses in more detail some of the contemporary episodes which have helped to bring the land question to the fore and the ideas which the Labour party have advanced as a potential programme of land reform which the Scottish parliament will be asked to implement. A necessarily speculative conclusion raises some of the problems and prospects for the land question in the newly contextualised Scottish politics.
